Two reversed-phase HPLC methods were compared for molecular analysis of dissolved free monosaccharides in seawater, with the 2-amino benzamide method showing better results. A total of 12 monosaccharides could be quantified with detection limits between 1.2 and 11 nM and good repeatability. Additional studies using different column polarities may lead to even higher sensitivity and detection of more monosaccharides.
Two reversed-phase HPLC methods for molecular analysis of dissolved free monosaccharides in seawater were investigated comparatively by optimizing chromatographic separations and pre-column derivatization reactions. Monosaccharides derivatized with 2-amino benzamide or 2-amino pyrazine, and reduced with 2-picoline borane or 2-dimethylamino borane. According to results of optimization, separation performance, and detection limits, 2-amino benzamide method gave better results than 2-amino pyrazine method. Among 12 monosaccharides tested, it was possible to quantify glucose + galactose, galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, xylose + arabinose, ribose, mannose, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine with detection limits between 1.2 and 11 nM with intra-day repeatability of 2-9% and inter-day repeatability of 3-9%. The optimized method has the same level of detection limit with a widely used anion exchange chromatography method. Besides the preliminary results reported in this study, it may be possible to achieve higher sensitivity and to detect more monosaccharides by the use of shorter and narrow-bore columns at different polarities in further studies.
